Week 22 (February 2-6)

February 2 – 6 (Week 22)

It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the treads of that tapestry are equal in value no matter their color.

Math

We’ve still been working hard on mastering addition with regrouping. This week we will be working on addition word problems! The students love the games race to 100 and dice jump!! These are both great games for practicing fluency with addition.

Dice jump!!

ELA

We’ve been working on understanding adjectives and adverbs and noticing how they can add to our writing! Lately, we’ve been revisiting sentence structures. The kids were doing so well with writing complete sentences, but lately they have been struggling. We will continue to work on it.

Social Studies

Fairytales and Folktales galore!!! We began by looking at the multiples cultural version of Cinderella. Well this week we’ve been looking at multiple folktales from multiple cultures and what the moral or setting may tell us about the different cultures. This week the students will be creating their own fairy tales. They have been asking about presenting them so we may need an audience very soon (stay posted)!!!
